Bill Fraccio often worked together with artist/inker Tony Tallarico for his Charlton comics, but also on stories for Warren Publishing's horror magazines Eerie, Creepy and Vampirella. For this, they used the joint pen names Tony Williamson and Tony Williamsune. Fraccio left comics in 1979 and became an advertising artist and teacher at the Connecticut School of Art. He passed away in October 2005, by then a resident of Mount Vernon, New York.
